Show all your friends you have the savoir faire to properly open a bottle of Champagne.
- Chill the bottle. Bubbly should be served between 47-50°F.
- Use a wine key or small knife to cut off the foil below the lip of the bottle.
- Wrap a napkin or hand towel around the cork.
- With one thumb held down on the cork, untwist its wire cage.
- Twist the bottle (not the cork) and carefully pull the cork away from the bottle until it pops out.
- Remove any residue or cork dust, then you’re ready to serve. Try The Sparkling Margarita for an effervescent twist on a classic.
